On the second day, the final round of the group stage of this "Samsung Cup".

So far, 8 players have successfully advanced to the round of 16, 8 players have been eliminated, and another 16 players have fought each other to compete for another 8 qualifying places.

After two rounds of competition, the overall result of the Chinese team is okay, and out of a total of 9 participating players, 3 players have already advanced, they are Chang Hao 9 dan, Yu Bin 9 dan, and Wang Lei, who is still 8 dan.

Five players, including Li Xiangping, won one in the first two rounds and will play in the final round.

The only one who is sure to be eliminated is none other than the defending champion, but now he is ready to play "Happy Go".

The elimination of the defending champion is not the biggest news at this time, after two rounds of matches, the most interesting and eye-catching thing in the whole tournament is, of course, the battle between Li Xiangping VS Gu Dali.

Not only Chinese chess fans are paying attention, but the entire world chess world is paying attention.

Take the organizers of this tournament as an example, this is obviously just a civil war between Chinese chess players, but in the third round of 8 games, this game of chess enjoyed the treatment of a separate game room, and the Korean Go TV channel broadcast the whole game live.

Of course, the approach of the Korean chess world is also very understandable.

Li Xiangping now seems to be the nemesis of the entire Korean Go world, from their Lao Cao to Da Li Da Liu, and then from Da Li Da Liu to the younger Xiao Li.

Several generations of their leading figures took turns to play, but no one could bargain in the hands of Li Xiangping.

The "Korean Wave", which has been raging in the world chess scene for many years, is not an exaggeration to say that it was curbed by Li Xiangping alone.

And the Go world is like this, whether it is Chinese Go, or Japanese and Korean Go-----

When there is a master in the world chess world, no one will want to retreat, and the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is to try to find this person's weaknesses, and then continue to challenge him, even if he loses 100 times in a row, he will continue to challenge him for the 101st time.

It's a pity that Li Xiangping's weaknesses don't seem to be so easy to find:

He seems to be so talented, and in just a few years since his debut, he has created countless "newbie new types".

His chess is so flexible that there is never a certain rule, and until now, people can't even say what the characteristics of his chess are, and what kind of style of chess can be classified.

Although he is young, he has a calm style, experienced style, and the style of a general, and he seems to be so sophisticated that everyone has never even seen him make any major mistakes in major international competitions.

His only weakness so far seems to be a bit of a "civil war layman" attribute, and his record against his own chess players seems to be mediocre. Not only is his domestic record average, but his opponent today, Gu Dali, has a 3-1 overall record against Li Xiangping in the official game------

This is already the best record against Li Xiangping among all professional chess players in the world so far.

Considering that Gu Dali is also a well-known chess player, he is also well-known in the Korean chess world, and because he is often compared to Lee Sedol, Gu Dali was also regarded as one of the future threats to Korean Go, so it is certainly not surprising that the Koreans picked out this game of chess for live TV.

Koreans regard this game as an object of analysis and research, but what about the Chinese? Of course, the focus of the Chinese is different.

For the Chinese Go community, Li Xiangping's "civil war layman" is of course still a topic, but please note: although this is a "civil war", it is a "civil war" in the international arena.

So in the international arena, will Li Xiangping still be a "layman in the civil war"? This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, and this is also one of the biggest attractions of this game for the majority of Chinese chess fans.

It is precisely because this game has received a different kind of attention, and it seems to be a bit of an "alternative" attention, so before the game, there will definitely be people who will comment on it.

And something like this, of course, there will be no less "big-mouthed" Lao Nie:

"In fact, in this game of chess, the pressure must be on Gu Dali's side......" Before the game, when "saying a few words" at the request of reporter Zhang Da, Lao Nie said with a smile:

"For this set alone, the pressure is definitely greater than that of Xiangping, I don't think there is any doubt about that. Everyone knows that in fact, before Xiangping, Gu Dali has always been unanimously optimistic about the Go world, and he is regarded as the future leader of our Chinese Go community, but it is a pity that under the light of Xiangping, he now looks a little bleak. Dali is not young anymore, he is already in his early twenties, but he is several years older than Xiangping, although he has won Xiangping several times in the armor, but what is the domestic arena? If he wants to prove himself, he still has to perform in the World Series, so there's nothing to say, I'm sure he's under pressure right now, of course, it's not a bad thing to be under pressure, and hopefully he can play better under pressure......"

Well, considering that Dali is Lao Nie's personal disciple, so his words are a little tendentious, which is of course understandable.

However, there is one sentence that Lao Nie is not wrong, just for this game of chess, it may really be that Gu Dali is under more pressure. After all, terms like "civil war insider" and "nest horizontal" are very hated by chess players-------

How annoying is it? You can refer to Zhou Ruiyang in real history, for a while, he had a good record in domestic chess battles, but he lost to Korean chess players in several key chess games, and since then, the hat of "Zhou Sheep" has followed him for a long time.

Therefore, for Gu Dali, if he loses today's game of chess, there is nothing to say, he will definitely be booed by the vast number of melon-eating people in China, "he will only be in the nest", "as soon as he arrives in the international arena, he will become a soft-footed shrimp", this kind of cynicism will definitely follow him for a while.

What if he wins this game? In fact, it may not be pleasing either, especially if he eliminated Li Xiangping and did not play well in the subsequent games, such as causing this championship to fall aside, it is completely conceivable, "Gu Dali only has the ability in front of his own people", "This guy is an undercover agent of Koreans", this kind of remarks may come out.

Losing is not winning or pleasing either, this is actually the pressure that Gu Dali is facing, in his previous life, as a senior chess fan, Li Xiangping was actually aware of the opponent's mentality, so when he and Gu Dali sat down in the game room modified in the studio hall, he was only happy with the opponent.

Gu Dali was inexplicably happy by Li Xiangping, and he also showed a sunny smile:

"Boss of the Arts, what are you laughing at?"

"Haha, it's nothing, Brother Gu, let me tell you, in order to deal with you today, I have prepared a little new gadget, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, you cheer me up and prepare to take it."

"Hehe, you scare me," with Li Xiangping's little trick, of course Gu Dali would not be fooled:

"Since there's something new, okay, you can let the horses come."

In the midst of such laughter, the time of the game came, and after guessing first, it was Gu Dali who guessed the black chess in this game.

The two "three threes", in the recent period, may be influenced by Li Xiangping's "point three three" at the beginning, Gu Dali especially likes the next two "three three" starts.

There is nothing to say about the first ten or so moves at the beginning, they are all very common opening routines, but when Gu Dali fell to the 17th hand of the whole game, Li Xiangping's hand stopped-----

He said before the game that there was something "new", but of course it was just a joke.

But at this time, he's really going to give Dali something special.
